Have we gone stark raving mad?
The question is brought to mind by the new gun law signed last week in Georgia by Gov. Nathan Deal. You might have thought that since the United States couldn't possibly have more permissive firearms laws than it does now, nothing more could be done to coddle the gun lobby and tip the balance of our statutes away from law enforcement. Alas, you would be wrong.
The creativity of the National Rifle Association and other organizations devoted to establishing conditions in which every man, woman and child in our nation will have to be armed is awe inspiring. Where imagination is concerned, the best absurdist artists and writers have nothing on the NRA. No wonder Stephen Colbert has decided to move on from the realm of satire. When parody becomes reality, the challenges facing even a comedian of his talents can become insurmountable.
You might not have thought that the inability of people to pack while praying was a big problem. Georgia's political leaders think otherwise, so the new law allows people to carry guns in their houses of worship. True, congregations can set their own rules, but some pastors wonder about the confusion this provision will create, and those who would keep their sanctuaries gun-free may worry about being branded as liberal elitists. Maybe the Georgia Legislature will help them by requiring a rewrite of the Scriptures. "Blessed are the peacemakers" can become "Blessed are the gun owners."
You will also be able to tote weapons into bars and their parking facilities if the bar gra

E.J.’s mouth didn’t get that way from eating bananas.
Hey EJ, ESAD, you worthless fascist.

GA FReeper ping.
More hyperventilation from the Left over HB 60.
I'll put you down as "leaning negative".
;-)
Every time gun law are eased guys like this yell that the streets will run red with blood. And it never happens!
That’s because people who are law abiding don’t run around committing crimes like murder and assault with a deadly weapon!
Duh!
Hey E.J. My wife and I talked about this last night. Nathan brought the bill to Ellijay near where we live to sign it. EXCITING! Done at high noon.....had a barbeque afterwards, too!
Nathan put up his right hand and flipped a big ole country boy bird to Atlanta Gun Grabbers and those new Democrat funded Mommies against Guns (whatever the hell they call themselves). We laughed and laughed about it for about 10 minutes...
There’s your folly, E.J.
Effing gun grabbers suck. : )
Wow! So much stupidity in one place! And, no time to respond.
Suffice to say that E.J. does proud the dhimmicrap, libtard attack on firearms ownership and self protection.
As it has been said...I carry a gun because a cop is too heavy.
And, because when seconds count, the cops are minutes away.
The sad part of this is that the libtards will come crying for protection when the SHTF, never realizing or caring that their own control-freak-mindset created the problem.
Read it again.
This time, replace “cops” and “authorities” with JACKBOOTED GOVERNMENT THUGS.
This guy is absolutely correct. If you want tyranny and absolute “government” control—this kind of bill is a disaster.
It all depends on your point of view.
"--if the "gun" situation has proven anything over the last twenty-some years , it is that the proliferation of legally purchased firearms has occurred at the same time as a general lowering of crime rates except in a rather easily defined social and ethnic group found primarily in large, densely populated urban areas where "legal" firearms purchase is almost unknown---"
True, dat.
—yep—those of us “gunnuts” who post on the J-S usually outnumber the anti’s about ten to one-—
Probably doesn't realize what he did there.
We could start with a repeal fest which would remove laws from the NFA of '34 to the present, for starters.
Then I might feel a tad appeased.
Until then, we fight.
I see Ol’ Mush Mouth is at it again, distorting facts and verbally defecating the end product.
EJ clearly stand for Enervating Jackass. Maybe EJ is too young to remember a time when the KKK was bombing and burning churches but it takes a special kind of stupid to reason that the peaceful intentions of parishioners somehow equates to peaceful intentions of others. I’ve seen obvious proof to the contrary.
“You might not have thought that the inability of people to pack while praying was a big problem”
Mmmm. Christians are being slaughtered in houses of worship all across the globe. When we have a “president” who will always stand for muslims when ill winds blow, ya’ have to know that the slaughter of Christians in this country can’t be far behind with the “president” making sure that no harm befalls them when acting out.
Aside from the mountains of data proving “Peace through Strength” works.
I’m trying to think of the last Dionne column I’ve read where I’ve agreed with him on at least a few issues. I can’t think of one. In every column of his I’ve read over the years (and I’ve read scores), he comes off as a complete leftist loon. Even some other lib scribblers (Richard Cohen) have written columns where I’ve agreed with some of the things they’ve written.
